By the way, for anyone who wants to go deeper into the ST6 culture I'd recommend SEAL Team on CBS as a must-watch series. It seems Bissonnette's book pretty much served as a blueprint for their production design & writing. The above-mentioned ex-Ranger & ex-Delta Tyler Grey is a producer/consultant for this series (and also plays a role as one of the team members).That was kit in 2011. Imagine Tier 1 kit today. The their main improvements we wouldnt be able to judge also - Coms, Optics, ISR, Navigation, etc etc.
A little look into who Tyler is -
They go pretty deep into the training & selection process as well (Green Team, Top 5/bottom 5, team leaders' pick etc.), and above all, a fun show to watch. Do check it out...I don't think CBS All Access is available in India so gonna have to torrent.
Oh and in season 2 there's two separate storylines involving India...first is a terror attack in Mumbai (heavily inspired by 26/11) where ST6 is deployed to rescue an American diplomat and the second is a mission targeting a terrorist in PoK, in the end ST6 is extracted by Indian helo into J&K.
Considering the number of incidents in the series inspired by real-world events, I won't be surprised if something like that actually did take place in PoK (joint Indo-US ops I mean).
